Packers Calendar: Last Day for James Jones, Nick Perry to Practice

Neither wide receiver James Jones nor linebacker Nick Perry has practiced this week as the Green Bay Packers prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings this weekend, but neither have they been ruled out of Sunday's game.

Friday is the last day of practice this week, so if they're going to get back on the field, this will be the last opportunity to do so.

If the Packers don't have Jones available on Sunday, they'll be without three of their top four receiving targets with Jermichael Finley and Randall Cobb also sidelined by injuries.

And if Perry doesn't suit up, the Packers will once again rely on a combination of Mike Neal, Andy Mulumba and Nate Palmer at outside linebacker as Clay Matthews remains sidelined as well.

The team's official injury report and game-day status projections will be released in the afternoon, shortly before the start of McCarthy's press conference.

Following practice, McCarthy will have his press conference streamed live on the team's official website at Packers.com, expected to take place at 12:30 p.m. CT.

Early Friday morning, head coach Mike McCarthy will make his rounds on statewide local radio as follows:
